It doesn't matter how much you pay for a Beverly Hills facelift, if you get a deep plane and they cut your facial retaining ligaments, you may end up with sagging, nasolabial and marionette lines.

Here is 49 yo Catt Sadler who got a face and necklift with Dr Steve Kim in May 2023 at the age of 48. 10 months later and she has lower face laxity in an ig video with nasolabials and a marionette line. She is looking more like her before photo. See how SKplasticsurgery only posts a recent postop before her face dropped.

Always look for videos of postop patients This is another reason why I posted my IG videos and set my account to public to show that smas facelifts+postop steroids is the key to looking young for longer than a deep plane. I had VR macs in July 2021 without steroids which dropped 4 months later and had upgraded smas plication with steroids in Jan 2022 which is still holding in March 2024 even with pds dissolvable smas sutures.

You're right! She looks the same as her pre op pic. I'd be pissed if I spent all that money for nothing!
 
Thank you so much for your response. I’m afraid of any fillers after having had sculptra, H.A. And Ellanse … Ellanse gave me permanent lumps on my forehead, HA fillers under my eyes and in my cheek started swelling at certain times of the month , when divert from my diet or do a face massage… I would like a lift in my face…wahat are the more natural treatments..?? What do you think about Stem cells??
I just want my mid cheek region lifted but I don't want to put lots of fillers in my cheeks...

Today I learned my surgeon has offered another lady deep plane VR with fat graft! I am so confused that I will go with my close friend to York in 3 weeks time, so that Nick can see that his VR retightening with smas plication and 4 days of steroids on me is holding for 2Y2M now. No botox, no fillers, no further fat graft, nothing, as he was the last person to treat my face. He never saw me postop ever.

I don't understand his deep plane. He told another lady he releases the masseter and mandibular retaining ligaments but not the cheek zygomatic ligament which is released more for the mid face. Is it the cutting of the zygomatic ligament that is leaving ladies who have DP with deep nasolabial folds similar to getting zygoma reduction where the zygomatic ligament may be cut too?

I need to understand why he doesn't just do smas plication like he did on me without cutting any retaining ligaments? He also needs to see how postop steroids have helped me with facelift longevity and try yet again to argue the case for his ladies to get a rx.

Here I am at night watching tv yesterday and wow I have my dark hair back in the dark! Blonde during the day and dark at night. Perfect! I do look Chinese in this photo. Maybe that is why Koreans think I am Chinese? lol. Aargh I have a cobra neck!

Yes! Like you I'm now scared to have any more fillers or bio stimulating injections
I’m now afraid of hyaluronic acid fillers too. My under eye and check puffs up and I have heard horror stories with using Hyalase to dissolve.. when I was younger I trusted doctors and did many things they suggested I do.., not anymore… Even Botox has many side effects we are not aware of, like long term use causing neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, tingling numbing arms and hands and puffiness too.., I observe all of them for me lately..

Omg that’s what I was thinking. I think during my zygoma reduction, I think he may have cut my zygomatic ligaments and immediately after surgery, I see that I have deep nasolabial folds. Apparently for facelift doctors that isn’t an issue because the scar created is suppose to hold up your face, acting like a ligament of its own …. But honestly I just want my old face back. Doctors use all these dangerous trendy methods to reel in customers with self-image issues, instead of telling them less is more ugh

If you are Caucasian you MUST protect your face from the sun! Supermodel Kate Moss is 50 and menoface has hit hard. Smoking and drinking doesn't help.

Caroline Stanbury got her facelift from Dr Steve Kim too but now her philtrum looks long and she may have overcompensated with lip fillers?! You can have all the money in the world and still end up with an unnatural face.

A friend shared that a tpfer had a facelift with chin fat graft in Korea! This is perfect! Fat grafting has surpassed the old fashioned silicone implants of the 1990s and 2000s. Why use old surgical techniques when Korea is so advanced in plastic surgery techniques.

Here is a collage of how Dr Seo built up my chin with fat graft in March 2018. As we age the upper and lower jawbone shrinks at an alarming rate. A telltale sign of an old person is how small the chin is.

For those even considering deep plane facelifts, send me a private message and I will share postop photos of deep plane facelifts and you can clearly see how cutting the facial ligaments ends in disaster.
